will quickly flash blue. When pairing, remain within 3 feet of the Bluetooth device.
2. Using the controls on your Bluetooth device, select ITBSW241 in the Bluetooth Settings Menu to pair. If need
be, refer to the user’s manual for your specific device for more information.
3. When successfully paired, a voice will announce, “Bluetooth is connected,” and the LED indicator will turn solid
blue. Audio from the connected Bluetooth device will now be heard through the speaker.
4. Use the controls on the connected Bluetooth device to select and play audio. Use the speaker controls or the
connected Bluetooth device to play, pause, and adjust the volume level.
5. After initial pairing, anytime the speaker powers ON it will automatically connect to the last Bluetooth device
used. Note: If your device should become unpaired or you find it is unable to connect, press and hold the Play
button (on remote), or Pair button (sound bar) to enter to Pairing Mode. A voice will announce, “Bluetooth is
